Child Therapy

Childhood is a time of rapid emotional, cognitive, and social development. While children are often resilient, they may need additional support to manage big emotions or adjust to changes in their environment. At Evolving Minds Counselling and Psychology, we offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for children experiencing emotional or behavioural difficulties.

​

Therapy can support a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, low self-esteem, separation anxiety, grief, emotional outbursts, behavioural issues, and family changes such as separation or divorce.

​

Parents or caregivers may consider therapy if their child shows signs such as frequent emotional outbursts, ongoing worry or sadness, sleep difficulties, social withdrawal, school avoidance, or trouble coping with family transitions. These behaviours may signal that your child is struggling and could benefit from professional mental health support.

​

Our experienced child therapists and psychologists provide developmentally appropriate therapy tailored to your child’s age, stage, and unique needs. We use a range of evidence-based approaches, including play-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and family systems frameworks.  To learn more about the therapies we use, visit the Evidence-Based Therapies page.

 

Sessions are engaging, supportive, and focused on helping children manage emotional challenges and build stronger relationships at home, school, and in the community. We also work closely with parents and caregivers, offering guidance around parenting strategies, communication, and emotional support. Family Counselling may be recommended when family dynamics are contributing to a child’s distress, or when working together can support more meaningful, long-term change.

​

Sessions are available in-person at our Menai clinic located, in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire.
